The production of flint projectile points in the late stage of the Neman culture shows certain elements which are clearly similar in terms of technology and typology to the solutions known from flint-working of the people representing the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age cultures. The occurrence of such features has already been presented in relation to Neman culture ceramic production which lies at the heart of the concept of separating horizons within Linin type complexes. An in-depth analysis of the techno-typological features of flintworking in the Neman culture, and especially the typological category of projectile points, reveals similar patterns as well as cultural and chronological references in the case of ceramics. The most striking elements show analogies to those known from the south-eastern area of the cultural groupings influenced by impulses flowing from the civilization centres of the time. Traces of these influences are clear in certain typological and technological solutions, such as the forms of triangular projectile points, or in applying a trough-like retouch on such points. At the current stage of research, it is hard to determine whether the analogies observed result from not yet recognised intercultural contacts, or rather constitute a certain signum temporis characteristic of production in a wider area but during a single, specific chronological interval.

The late prehistoric site of Qiryat Ata in the Zebulon Valley, Israel, is known from a major publication of several seasons of salvage excavations (Golani 2003) as primarily an Early Bronze Age site. This paper presents a reevaluation of data published in that report. It suggests a significantly expanded and altered archaeological profile of the site, especially of its chrono-cultural associations in the Early Bronze Age and a substantially different interpretation of the social organization of the communities represented there. In addition it considers the ancient climate and geomorphology of the site and offers new insights into late prehistoric lifestyles there.

The menilite hornstone processing site Cisna 6 was discovered in 2015 during the surface surveys carried out by Andrzej Pelisiak in the western part of High Bieszczady Mts. It is located within Solinka river Valley, near the edge of the river terrace about 4 m above the flood zone of the valley close to natural deposits of menilite hornstone in the riverbed of the Solinka river. The archaeological material was discovered on an area of about 150 m 2 . There were collected 53 natural pieces of raw material, 25 artefacts made of menilite hornstone and one artefact made of siliceous sandstone. This assemblage probably is not homogenous. There were recognized artefacts which can be dated to the Late Neolithic as well as to the Bronze Age.

The article focuses on the matter of significance of flint daggers on the area settled by Early Bronze Age societies connected with Únětice Culture Kościan Group. Analytical part is separated into two sections. The first is a case study of a stray find from Bronikowo (com. Śmigiel) and the second involve typological analysis of flint daggers from western part of Polish Lowlands. Results gathered give an overview of an issue propounded in a title.

Jednym z najciekawszych aspektów badań geoarcheologicznych jest poznanie przeszłości człowieka w kontekście otaczającej go ówcześnie rzeczywistości. Zagadnienie to nabiera szczególnego znaczenia w odniesieniu do społeczeństw łowiecko-zbierackich, ściśle uzależnionych od środowiska naturalnego, które przez całą epokę kamienia bezwzględnie dominowały na obszarach Podlasia. Z badań paleogeograficznych wynika, że na stanowisku Lipowo, początek narastania torfów na równinie zalewowej był datowany na 8490±80 BP (MKL-3275) 7658–7347 cal BC. W podobnym czasie, w pobliżu piaszczystej elewacji, zostało odcięte starorzecze Biebrzy. Fragment drewna z piasków zailonych ze spągu jego wypełnienia był datowany na 8330±120 BP (MKL-3277) 7577–7083 cal BC. Oba te zjawiska, wzrost poziomu wód gruntowych i zmiana rozwinięcia koryta, mogą być związane ze zmianami klimatycznymi – fazą chłodną i wilgotną na początku atlantyku. Gytie z malakofauną wodną zostały zdeponowane w starorzeczu we wczesnym atlantyku, które zaniknęło około 6170±80 BP (MKL-3276) 5313–4911 cal BC, po czym zaczęły narastać torfy. Wyniki badań na stanowisku w Lipowie i innych stanowiskach w Kotlinie Biebrzy wskazują na pewne okresy zmian klimatycznych, w których następował wzrost aktywności procesów morfogenetycznych.

At the Lipowo site, the beginning of peat accumulation in the valley floor was radiocarbon dated at 8490±80 BP (MKL-3275) 7658–7347 cal BC. At around that time the Biebrza river channel was cut off near a sandy elevation. A fragment of wood from silty sands in the bottom of this abandoned channel was radiocarbon dated at 8330±120 BP (MKL-3277) 7577–7083 cal BC. Both these occurrences – a rise in ground water level and a channel change – may be connected with climatic changes, namely the cool, humid phase at the beginning of the Atlantic. Gyttja with aquatic molluscs accumulated in an oxbow lake during the Early Atlantic. The lake had disappeared by about 6170±80 BP (MKL-3276) 5313–4911 cal BC, when the accumulation of peats started and a peat bog developed here. The results of studies on Lipowo and other sites in Biebrza Basin indicates some periods of climatic changes and an increase in morphogenetic activity.

The site was discovered in 1921 and identified as a prehistoric striped flint mine in 1922. It is notable for its excellently preserved prehistoric industrial landscape, particularly discernible in the valley of the Kamienna river. It was excavated for the first time in 2017. In 2018, the site was nominated for inscription on the World Heritage List together with the Krzemionki Opatowskie mine. Flint artefacts and radiocarbon dates set its chronology as the Late Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age. No bones have been preserved from that period apart from a fragment of a long bone in two parts. Microscopic analysis of thin sections has identified the fragment as a bone of a red deer (Cervus elaphus). The article concludes with remarks about the 2019 centenary of research on prehistoric flint mining in Poland.

The finds of chipped artefacts from Wetlina-Stare Sioło, Orłowicz Pass, Moczarne, and Czerteż Pass are the first archaeological confirmation of human activity in the Bieszczady mountains in the late neolithic. These finds correspond with older anthropological changes of vegetation recorded in pollen diagrams from smerek and Tarnawa wyżna which began ca. 2800 bc. They refer to the seasonal animal grazing in the high altitude landscapes. The use of high mountain pastures was connected with salt springs frequent in this area.

Pelagonia — a large valley in the southern part of Macedonia — is one of the most important settlement centers in this part of the Balkans with a concentration of approximately 80 Neolithic tells, so far very poorly recognized. In 2013 the archaeological reconnaissance, the magnetic and topographic prospection have been carried out, with focus on the Central Pelagonia — the Mogila, Trn, Karamani and Dobromiri villages. Survey aimed at mapping, documenting and magnetic prospection of the sites selected by the following criteria: accessibility for surveying, visible land form suitable for Digital Elevation Modeling and state of archaeological research. The magnetic prospection gave a quick insight into the tells` organizational patterns. Together with precise positioning within RTK mode and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) it made a framework for the future presentation and processing of research results. The 2013 survey revealed the first images of the Neolithic tells in Macedonia. The enclosures surrounding the settlement e.g. in Dobromiri, although already known for the Balkans, have not been noted so far at the Neolithic or Chalcolithic sites in Macedonia.

Excavation research was conducted in 2015–2017 on multicultural site No. 12 at Kędzierzyn, Koszalin district. Majority of the finds are associated with the settlement of the Pomeranian culture. This article, however, presents other material connected with the Mesolithic and Neolithic settlement represented by the Corded Ware groups as well as the Early Middle Ages and early modern period.
